1 RADAR SOLUTIONS

2 2 The Simrad Radar Range Based on 50 years of experience and designed by some of the world s leading marine radar system engineers, the Simrad Argus X-Band, Argus S-Band and Broadband Radar Systems offer world class solutions for professional vessels. As the only manufacturer to offer this full range of radar solutions, we can design a target detection solution specifically for your vessel. Both Argus X-Band and S-Band options are fully IMO compliant and their configuration is characterised by reduced weight, small dimensions, and compact electronics thereby offering a great solution for a wide variety of vessels (including high speed craft). Argus X-Band The Argus X-Band is a state of the art professional X-band radar including 6 and 9 foot antenna options* and up-mast transceiver in both 12kW and 25 kw. Thanks to the modular design, they can either be assembled to form a stand-alone display cabinet, or be flush mounted as part of an integrated bridge. The standard configuration always includes full ARPA, AIS and an integrated gyro interface with Stepper, Syncro and NMEA capability as standard. An electronic built-in interswitch for dual radar installations is also included as standard. *Note: a 12ft antenna option is available and this requires a modified up-mast transceiver. Argus S-Band The Simrad Argus family has been expanded with the addition of the lightest S-Band radar available in the market today. The S-Band radar has a new slim profile antenna to reduce disturbances caused by sea waves and wind resistance. The Argus S-Band radar does not require a separate power supply and uses the exact same single cable as the Argus X-Band. This makes installation and service significantly easier than most other S-Band installations in the market today. The 30 kw Argus S-Band Radar has enhanced near target detection, pre-wired plug and play installation, and full integration with the current Argus X-Band Radar. The Argus S-Band is perfect for vessels over 3000 gross tonnes who require and S-Band radar (3 GHz) as part of their carriage requirements. The Argus S-Band shares some of the same proven technology and electronic components as the Argus X-Band thus reducing the required onboard spare parts and assuring their availability via our world-wide Advantage Service program. KEY FEATURES Combined intelligent video of two radar transceivers onto one PPI or two independent PPI on a wide screen monitor for better situational awareness and performance Modular and solid state construction for ease of maintenance and servicing Separate processor, monitor and operation panel offering flexible mounting options Up to 100 target (ARPA) and 300 AIS targets Five different monitor sizes/options to suit your needs Seamless use of up to four antennas combining X and S Band interswitching capability.

ARGUS Special Applications We are among the first companies in the world to provide special application add-ons that work in parallel with an IMO/SOLAS ARPA navigational radar (note a dedicated core unit must be available for full IMO approval for navigational radar). From the ships owners point of view, the most important benefit is the reduced maintenance costs in terms of installation, service and spare parts, and the officer on watch only has to learn to use one radar system. There are three additional special application software packages available offering Oil Spill Detection, Small Target Detection, and Ice Navigation.

5 ARGUS Special Applications 1. OIL SPILL DETECTION 5 Early detection and the ability to mount an emergency response are essential should an oil spill occur. Adding the Oil Spill Detection capabilities to your Simrad Argus X-Band or S-Band Radar is a must to stay operational. An Argus OSD Radar will increase your hours of operation and efficiency, as the vessel can now work in the dark and know which part of the oil slick to concentrate on. The Simrad Argus Oil Spill Detection application works by receiving and processing signals in real-time from on-board transceivers. The water surface is usually dampened when it is contaminated by oil, so the backscatter of microwave radiation from these waves is unlike the rest of the sea. The radar is then able to highlight the dampening of the reflected microwave radiation on the radar display, thus calculating the size, position and drift (speed and course) of the oil spill. We let you see inside the oil spill! The Simrad Argus Radar with Oil Spill Detection software has been successfully tested during two NOFO (Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies) on-water exercises. The radar has been found suitable for use in NOFO mode of operation. The success of this application is further supported by the dozens of installations that are in operation today around the world. Vessels towing oil recovery booms into place Spot area of oil concentration Oil spot area = 10.38km2 Oil volume = 326,592 barrels Oil thickness set to 5mm Vessel spilling oil 2. SMALL TARGET DETECTION Being able to identify small targets can be a matter of life and death. The Simrad Argus Small Target Detection unlock key allows the user to access a set of radar functions specific to identifying small targets amongst the sea clutter. The superior detection of small objects in clutter is carried out by using advanced signal averaging to suppress the chaotic sea clutter returns in the background, and preserve the signal level of stationary targets. Therefore, in terms of amplitude of the received radar signal, the distance between the clutter and target is increased and the target detect-ability is enhanced. In addition, the operator can manually adjust the colour palette threshold to suit sea and weather conditions by adjusting some parts of the radar signal from grey to green to highlight the presence of small targets above the average sea clutter.

6 6 3. ICE NAVIGATION For vessels operating in low temperature environments, purchasing the Ice Navigation unlock key helps reduce any potential risk of serious incidents in Arctic waters. This special application supports both strategic route planning and tactical ice avoidance. The reflectivity properties of different objects (or surfaces) will be displayed on screen as different colours. Sea water, grease ice, first-year ice and in general low radar reflectivity areas are represented with a shade of colour from black through to green, while land, old hard ice, vessels etc. are represented by a shade of colour from green through to red. The Ice Navigation unlock key will assist the ships navigators to set a course that will follow safety routes for significant time savings and to avoid damage to the ship, ultimately increasing operational profits. The Ice Navigation software has been tested and approved by the Russian administration for cold weather operation down to -50C.
